paying off in wins. Maybe our schedule is too difficult for us. It seems that every team we play has players who can shoot the ball a little better than we do. We play hard defense, but we don't score enough points. Other than WN, hardly anyone is making, or even taking any three point shots. And tonight, every time we got close, one of their guys made a shot. Several of them threes.

To make threes, players must feel free to shoot them. I noticed one time tonight that Taggart had a wide open three, but he hesitated taking the shot, then took it and missed. He was thinking if it was allright for him to take the shot. Can't win games when you don't shoot when you're open.

I like the tough schedule even if it is to too tough for us. All that matters is being prepared when conference begins.

Agree. Especially this year. We knew this season was not going to be a great one anyway.

Don't expect great. Do expect at least mediocre.

Now you're talking! How about that?!? A convert!

I guess a .500 record in OOC would be considered mediocre. We had best start winning if we're going to achieve mediocrity.
